Default Wildcard in conjunction with data comparison

I utilize an installed feature in Excel that allows to
compare worksheets and - when executed - produces another
XLS file that lists the differences between Sheet1 and
Sheet2.

Data Sample of Sheet1:
A1 STATE
A2 CA
A3 IL
A4 VA

Data Sample of Sheet2:
A1 STATE
A2 CA
A3 IL
A4 TX


After executing the worksheet comparison, the VBA code
creates the additional worksheet which lists the following:

Address Difference [Book1]Sheet1 [Book1]Sheet2
$A$4 Value VA TX


In the actual data set, I have hundreds of records and
almost 50 columns.


Here's my problem/question now?
I need to translate the column letter e.g. "A" into the
actual value "State" which is stored in the 1 row.

So, rather than displaying "Value" under the "Difference"
column, I need to display "State".

I am sure if I should use a wildcard for this... Using a
wildcard (e.g. "*A*") would pick up both column A and all
2-digit columns IDs such as "AA" or "AB".

Moreover, if there's a way that I can differentiate
between e.g. $A$1 and $AA$1, how do I need to work around
the limit of 7 subnesting functions in Excel?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tom
